Rapper Nardo Wick’s entourage reportedly assaulted and severely injured a 20-year-old fan after he simply tried to ask for a photo.
A video posted all over the internet showed George Obregon Jr walking up to Nardo before he boarded a Black SUV outside after his Monday night show at the Club Skye in Tampa, FL. Another man wearing a black hoodie ran up to block George from getting to Nardo.

George then attempted to ask for a photo with Nardo. A different person in the rapper’s squad wearing a camouflage hoodie walked around George, who posed no threat. He came behind the 20-year-old and punched him in the head.
“Chill! Chill!” Nardo told his people while George stood in place, leaning over in either shock or pain.
The same guy in the black hoodie then repeatedly punched the defenseless 20-year-old until he fell to the ground.
According to the Daily Mail, George is in critical condition in the hospital with a brain bleed and severe concussion.
George’s father, George Obregon Sr., told the outlet that police were investigating the matter, but the 21-year-old rapper wasn’t cooperating and refused to give out the suspects’ names.
“We don’t know the suspect’s name because the rapper has not identified them. [Nardo] is not talking. He does not want to cooperate,” Obregon Sr. said.
The family can’t provide much details on the matter since they’ve started legal proceedings against the rapper. His father is furious about what happened to his son.
“My son is an authentic guy who is beloved by people… he has a million friends… he is a dreamer, and he loved this rapper — he has his pictures in his room, imagine how we feel! The photo is still in his room, and I just want to rip it,” Obregon Sr. said.
Following the incident, Nardo released a statement on Instagram, condoning his guards’ behavior.
“I don’t condone what happened to my fan George after my show in any type of way. I expressed to him and his mama how sorry and concerned I was that it happened to him multiple times before anything was even posted on the internet,” Nardo said. “I sent his mama my number instantly the night it happened.”
He continued, “I was even [going to] make a post to try to find out who he was before his mama text me. I can’t control another grown man actions, I ain’t know that was gon’ happen and I was mad when it happened. I tried to stop it as [you] can see in the video, and if somebody go the longer video, you can see how mad I was. I love and appreciate all my fans and don’t condone what happened at all. [That] s**t ain’t gangsta or cool in no type of way.”

His mother, Michelle Obregon, took to her IG page, posting the video and encouraging those to help her get justice for her son.
